Greetings Kalle, Hannes, everyone,

PHP 5 should be treated as a first class citizen, so phrases like 
"As of PHP 5, " should no longer exist. If they do then SQUASH 
them! Muahahahaha!

We have a page for all PHP 3 references but this might be too much 
work for PHP 4, and we've already removed several so my gut says 
no to PHP 4. Unless someone disagrees? :)

I think the changelog entries should remain for all PHP versions
including PHP 4. They don't add clutter, and it helps people touch
code from the 90's. If applicable, please convert inline PHP 4
references (are there any left?) to changelog entries.

As for PHP 4 extensions. I vote we remove them. The old XSLT and
objaggregation extensions comes to mind. Are there others? I
suspect you were referring to these. And leaving the OOP 4 section in 
the appendix seems okay as it may also help the conversion process.

tl;dr: Go for it!

Regards,
Philip
